I owned a 2007 tundra, and drive a 2010 F-150 now.

The tundra seemed quicker and more responsive and turned quick and accurately.
The ford transmission often lags, delays, doesn't respond instantly, makes the truck seem slower.
The ford handling is under-steer to the max, more like a snow-plow.

The tundra ate front tires like I go through cheeze-burgers.
The ford easily gets 70k out of a cheap set of good-years.

The ford rides nice for a truck, smooth and comfortable.
The tundra would cause your kidneys to bleed on freeways with the seams spaced just right.
I swear there were times the back of the truck was hopping so bad I struggled to talk.

I had zero mechanical problems with the tundra in three years.
In the first three years of owning the ford I had the steering wheel replaced and the driver's door window fixed. Later I had the drive-shaft removed and lubricated ($250) which is a common problem.
Visibility out the back of the ford is not good, visibility out of the back of the tundra was non-existent. A back up camera is a must. without it you just put it in reverse, close your eyes and hope for the best.



I don't know how many of these issues have been addressed or corrected since these trucks were made.

If the new tundra rides better and doesn't eat front tires and has a back up cameras, I'd probably like it better than my 2010 ford.

But the new ford with the better transmission and turbo V6 and aluminium body seems pretty darn sweet.

So without having driven either of the NEW trucks, I'd pick the Furd.
